Pita-pocket

Hello people,

In home economics we made pita-pockets in them there was lettuce,ham/chicken,BBQ sauce.They were nice to eat but they were a little bit to dry. The team worked really good everyone was working nice and after we got the jobs done.

All we really had to do was cut a slit in the pita then put our ingredients.

Schooner

Hello people,

in class we are thinking about what it would be like on the schooner what you can feel,touch,see or what it looks like the boat and what might be coming up ahead.

I think being on the side you would see the crashing waves or feel the boat rock up and down. Might be able to taste the salt air. Hear the birds and the crash of waves hitting the front of the boat. looking at the long narrow boat with four sails with not to big of sides but slick through the water. Nice brown colour to it and white tops on each side or might be bright red. you might be able to see upon the front a land or miles of water. And that what I think it might be like on a schooner

The design process

Hello people,

In Home Economics we have been making our final piece of work, We had a stakeholder to test the food we made and then gave us feedback on if it was good or could be better. We needed a shopping list,time management,costing,and recipe. once we picked who we want to have we emailed them to ask what their favorite flavors are and if they have any dietierts.

My group was planning on savory muffin but they didn't fit the thing they had to make like how long they cook how much they make. then we had blueberry mini muffins which we found the perfect one but they were too long to cook so we made them mini and they turned out good.

Blueberry mini muffins recipe

2 cups all purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 salt

3/4 white sugar

1 egg

1 cup milk

1/4 vegetable oil

blueberries

Method 

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

  • Step 2
    Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring cup, beat egg with a fork. Stir in milk and oil. Pour all at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened, but do not beat. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the batter into paper lined muffin pan cups.

  • Step 3
    Variations: Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 cup fresh blueberries. Raisin Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped raisins. Date Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped dates. Cheese Muffins: Fold in 1 cup grated sharp yellow cheese. Bacon Muffins: Fold 1/4 cup crisp cooked bacon, broken into bits.

  • Original Recipe

Mikayla and Hunter asked me if I would taste test a batch of it.

7 - Blueberry cupcakes they made period 4 today.

They were delicious !

All of the cupcakes were easy to remove from the paper cups they were cooked in.

The sponge of the cakes was soft and tasty. Not in any way doughy or overly moist.

Some of the cakes were nice and crunchy on top, while others were just cooked to perfection.

The taste of blueberries was mouth watering, not overpowering, there seemed to be many flavours that added to the appeal of the cupcakes.

The amount of sugar that was used also added to the taste. 

I am not a fan of cakes being too sweet and these cupcakes were super.

Thanks for the opportunity to taste them. 

You are obviously a great team.

I think we worked really well but we did forget the vegetable oil but they still tasted good with the amount we put. we got though the time and had some time at the end

Do now week 9.

Hello people,

Today's topic is:Being able to be confident when public speaking is an important life skill. If we think it an important life skill.

Yes I agree that being able to be confident when public speaking is an important life skill.I think is because when people need to tell someone something and they don't know the person then they might be scared but if they were confident they would tell them and get it over with. If your able to speak out aloud and not care if your wrong or the stares of people then that can help in job forms. If your doing something with a group and it might be a big one then if you don't like the idea someone has put in then you can tell them that it not something you wanna do putting your thoughts out there.So this is why I think it is an important life skill.

do now week 9

Hello people.

Today's topic is Matariki should be a public holiday.

I agree that Matariki should be a public holiday. All the other days like this are a public holiday so why shouldn't this one. it would give kids joy that there is no school and a day off to relax. If we had a day off then it would be celebrating it. So this is my reason for agreeing on that Matariki should be a public holiday.

week 8 do now

Hello people,

In class the topic is english is the most important subject to learn in school.

English is the most important subject to learn in school I don't agree with this because there are other great languages than english. People may not like to learn about it either they may like to do other classes as creating thing in cooking/art/wood or already learnt about it then don't want to re learn it. That is why I  disagree on this.
